More Cards From Across the Border

I had requested a few cards out of one of his hockey repack adventures posts, but of course he sent me some bonus goodies such as this -

A really awesome relic card of the now retired St. Louis, numbered out of 100. I'll admit I held a little bit of a grudge towards Marty after he demanded a trade to New York. But in the end the trade worked out better for us as we got Ryan Callahan long term and the Rangers only got 1+ season of one of greatest players of all time. I'll never forget his game winner in overtime of game six of the '04 Finals so thanks Marty and thanks Douglas for this great card.

This sticker was one of the cards I had requested, the Bolts started there preseason schedule last night with an overtime loss to the Predators amidst trade rumors involving our best player.

He's that guy in the middle, he's kinda good. Bishop is going to have his work cut out for him to start the season as his backup just had surgery for a blood clot.

Douglas sent over a ton of great Lightning cards including these 3 from the '04 Cup team.

He also sent some of the new flagship football cards I needed including this great shot of Devin Hester, i'll never forget him and Deion crying on the after show or let my Bucs friends forget we were up 56-0 at one point in this game either.
